Little Davey A wins.

But Cook will sell more albums and have a more successful career.

I have a different thought… I think David C is most talented, AND I think he would do better if he doesn’t win. If he doesn’t win, he can go straight to making his own music. Otherwise he may be forced to lose some of his edge to make a tame pop CD. I felt the same way about Daughtry (and I think that proved true). I think there are some people who are better served by not becoming the American Idol.

Although little Davey A. bugs me, I agree with everyone else that he is likely to win. I think he needs American Idol to be successful (unlike Cook who is a star already).

Toodles.

Syesha is the poster girl for mediocrety. Common… Her tears were they only thing that saved her from going first…although my thought is that she should have gone 4 weeks ago.

David Cook needs to up his game… he needs another “Billie Jean” moment or he will be 2nd place.

David A is starting to change his look and appealing more to the tween to teen crowd – notice the Vneck tee and jeans rather than the mother’s dream for their daughter preppie? He even quoted a rap song in the middle of Ben E. Goodman! Goodness knows that 12-17 crowd are more likely to have the texting vote down.

Not at a 100% certainty… but.. I am thinking that David A is the winner – David C- is more talented (he needs a band!) but David A has the appeal… but the truth is.. just as with Jason Castro.. the right or wrong song choice and it is all over. David C for the last 2 shows hasn’t been making the best decisions… compared to Archuleta.

Toodles!

Savannah Red,
I have to give you props as well! What an amazing comment! Pure genius! Well done!

Jay,
You are pretty much right on the money as well. I can’t imagine that Castro survives. That could have been 2 of the worst performances I have seen ever, (let alone at the final 4)! There’s at least 3-4 other top 12′ers that should have lasted longer than him! The funny thing is, I don’t think he really cares!

Syesha – She is turning into the dark horse! In my mind, she is definitely the “most improved” of all the finalists. She is finding a way to step it up every night! Props to her. Unfortunately, she’s up against David (A) and Goliath (David C)! If she goes home before Jason, I may actually throw up in my mouth a little!

David Arch – I have to give him some props as well. I thought he sounded great. I’m a little bored with all the ballads, but the kid can sing and he knows what his niche is.

David Cook – I thought he did well. The first one was good, but I didn’t think it was “amazing” like some of his other performances have been! The second, however, definitely brough me a “WOW” moment. I don’t know what it is, but there have been a few performances from him now that have actually given me the chills! Weird? Nah! I love music, especially when it’s done well!

Jason **has** to go home this week. The boy has had one too many pulls on the hash pipe. I don’t know what the Bob Marley thing was, and to mangle the lyrics on Tambourine Man….. but you never know. After all, lovely Brooke survived the “do over”.

In what may be one of the best lines ever on AI, Simon tells David A. who followed Jason’s disaster: “You could have whistled that song and been better than the one before you”.

While Randy slaughtered Sayesha on her second song, I actually liked it. I thought she sang her a$$ off. She gets most improved, but the water works were a little much.

David C. was not great on song 1, but he blew me away with Baba O’Riley. He should win.

But, Daughtry should have won. Aiken should have won, so anything can happen. Screaming 14 year old girls will hit redial all night long. (For the record, my own 14 year old girl wants David C to win).

I want David C to win. He may not. It will be close.

But let’s face it, either David could go home tomorrow and they’ll still sell a boatload of records.

No way Jason survives tonight. And Sayesha is toast next week, no matter what happens.

There are two other contestants but I don’t remember who they are.
